BYRAM — Police say they found an empty bag of suspected heroin and a container of urine inside a Netcong man's car following a motor vehicle stop on Route 206 North Sunday.

Around 10:10 p.m., a patrol officer observed a vehicle traveling
55 mph in a 45 mph zone on Route 206 North and noticed that the vehicle failed to maintain its lane, police said in a news
release.

The officer stopped a vehicle operated by 22-year-old Erik Ross and observed drug
paraphernalia in the vehicle, specifically cigar wrappers and an improvised filter in the center console, Byram Police Lt. Peter Zabita said in an email. Those items are commonly used to smoke various drugs, Zabita said.

During a search of the vehicle, the officer found an empty bag of suspected heroin and a urine container with a hand warmer taped to the outside of it, police said.
